May 18, 201610 yr Nunez mixes poor defense and base running mistakes with a productive bat. There may not be a place for him on a playoff team but this Twins team needs him.
May 18, 201610 yr He was a minus-2 win player with the Yankees and has been a plus-2 win player for the Twins. There's a 14-point gap in OPS+. Those are both pretty significant.

But 2014 Danny Santana showed that babip luck can last quite a long time in baseball. It's my belief that is what we are seeing from Nunez right now. You disagree. I can respect that, it's cool.
May 18, 201610 yr There's a reason the team doesn't think he can stick at short. Tonight is the first time he started there, and they've had ample opportunity to play him there and just haven't. Maybe this is just groupthink. Plus, if Polanco can't stick at short, then why is he around at all. It will be the Plouffe/Sano situation all over again, since Dozier's got second locked up and Escobar and Nunez can also fill in there. Polanco can play short until the fans see that he can't--that's the position I'm taking Polanco had a half dozen chances tonight and did fine. One of them was a highlight reel play.

I can respect that, it's cool. Yeah but it's A. not a .400+ BABIP and B. a player with a previous track record. I'm cool with disagreement. No worries.
